| Description:
Webster's defines civics as the study of civic affairs and the
duties and rights of citizenship. Civic affairs are how our government,
economic, and political systems are supposed to operate as defined by our
founding fathers. In light of this, we will focus on the Constitution, as
well as study branches of government, political parties, foreign policy,
opinion/truth/propaganda in politics, and citizen responsibilities such as
voting and how that works.
